The drive was longer then I expected and we went through a beautiful forest rout, it was quiet, but I liked it because it calmed me down.
I must have dozed off from the peacefulness because the next thing I knew I was being lifted.

"Mmrhmm" I turned my head into whoever held me, hiding my eyes from the light.

"Shh, its okay, go back to sleep."
I nodd at whoever said that snuggle into their warmth as darkness finds me.

¤♡¤♡¤♡¤♡¤

Hours must have passed because I woke up in a soft bed, morning light filtering through the sheer curtains and the smell of baccon wafting from somewhere down stairs.

I notice my bags are empty and instantly get up, searching the room to find that my small amount of clothes are clean and placed in drawers and a new purse holds all of my important stuff.

I sigh with reliefe and explore the room I was in, finding a fully stocked bathroom, deciding to take a much needed shower.

I undress in the clothes I had been in for the past few days and turn the water on, getting under the spray once it was at the right temperature and scrubbing myself clean.

The water helps soothe my sore muscles, the babies inside me seeming to agree with my idea as they move around slightly.

Once I felt relaxed and clean, I get out of the shower refreshed and happy, turning it off, wrappig a fluffy towel around my pregnant body and walking back into the room while towel drying my long brown hair.
I take out some comfy clothes and sigh when I realize that the shirt is starting to become tight on me.

"Nothing I can do about it till I go shoping." I mumble to myself.
A knock on the door caught my attention and I turn towards it, grabbing what ever weapon I could find, a lamp, and take a deep breath.

"Come in." I call out, watching the door open to reveal Tate.

"Good- were you going to hit me with that?" I sigh with relief and put the lamp back, facing the man who was supposedly my mate.

"No, I was going to hit whoever I didn't know with it." I correct, getting a chuckle from him that sent my heart fluttering.

"I thought you would like to know food was ready and I brought a shirt for you since yours looked to small." I smile at him and take the v-neck long sleeve from him, quickly taking my shirt off and putting the comfy soft cotton one on.

"Not shy around guys?" It wasn't a question but how it came out sounded like one and I blush.

"Sorry, I am used to changing infront of my cousin and his mate because they're gay and everything." I apologize, squeeking when I am pulled into his embrace.

"Don't apologize to me, you're my mate. You should be comfortable around me." He says, kissing the top of my head. I couldn't help but snuggle into him.

"Now come on, lets go eat."
He lets go of me and I instantly miss his warmth, smiling happily when he takes my hand and leads me down the stairs and to the kitchen.

"Sit over there and I will dish your food up." He directs me and I nodd, sitting at the breakfast nook. This gave me time to study Tate, taking in his tall frame.

He had dark chestnut coloured hair that had light brown highlights and was cut short and styled in a messy look.

His shoulders were broad and so was his chest and I already knew how strong he was. I already knew how breathtaking his smile was and his dark green eyes were like the colour of the forest in summer.

"Here you go, over easy eggs, baccon and hashbrowns." He said, placing a plate down in front of me before placing a cup of tea beside the plate.

"And blueberry vanilla tea."

"Thank you." I say smiling as he sits across from me with a similar plate, the distinct smell of coffee coming from his mug.

We sit there in silence for a moment before he sighs and looks to my stomach.

"You really didn't know about it being illegal? " he asks and I look down, placing a hand on my baby bump and nodded.

"Probubly only a few knew and kept it to themselves for free sex." I whisper and he growls.

"A bunch of morons if you ask me."

"Not all of them." I look up to see him staring at me, his eyes filled with love.

"I will protect you, but I don't like the fact that the pups you are carrying aren't mine." I sigh at his words, looking down at my empty plate. Guess I was eating without realising it.

"Look, I am not in the mood for arguing. We just met and whether you like it or not, I am keeping these babies." I stand and notice a house phone, grabbing it and walking to what I guess was my room while searching through the contact list till I saw Eeva's name. I smile and click the call button, letting it ring.

"I told you to let her sleep you idiot, she is pregnant for God's sake." She aswers, well yells, into the phone before I could say anything.

"Um, A) ooooooow my eeeear-" I say loudly, switching the phone to the other ear while I massage the abused one.

"And B) wanna go shopping? "

"Sorry and yes, be there in a few Laina." She hangs up and I giggle at the phone before getting up and wobbling over to the new purse and heading downstairs with the phone in hand.

"Where are you going?" I jump and turn to glare at Tate who blocks the front door.

"Shopping with your sister." I reply back, looking for my runners.

"I am your mate, I should go with you." He growls out possesively, coming to stand infront of me.

"And I am a free person who can go anywhere I want and I will not be treated any differently. I was already a slave to my old pack, I will not be treated like one in my new pack!" I retort back, my voice higher then normal but lower then a yell, and catch his shocked look.

"New pack?" He questions and I run my fingers theough my hair.

"I figured since we are mates I should join. If you don't want m-" my words were cut off as Tate's lips are pressed to mine, the kiss sweet and gentle.

"I want you." He says when he pulls away, kissing my forehead.

"Just get yourself a cell phone so that I can reach you and so that you can call me." He adds and pulls me in for a hug just as the door opens.

"Sorry, was waiting for the yelling to stop before I came in." Eeva states and I laugh at her.

"So my mate has the punks for a few hours, you have a meeting to go too Tate and don't worry, Laina is in good hands." My new friend states and grabs me from her brother.

"By bro, love ya." She says and pushes me out the door and out of his reach.

"Go, go, go! He is possesive and didn't like the way I took you." She says as if she was a soldier and I couldn't help but laugh as I got into her Hummer and we drove off just as Tate was running out the door.

"To the mall!" She exclaims and I sit back.

"Hey, if you pass a Tim Horton's can we stop so that I can get a white hot chocolate? " I ask.

"Sure, one thing about our lovely Canada is that Tim Horton's are freaken everywhere." She answers and I laugh again.
